Three Avondale Restaurants are being featured in the August 2010 issue of Southern Living.

My favorite is Biscotti's, which is a popular gathering place for lunch and dinner. Frank and I had our last Anniversary dinner there. We feel like we're back in Atlanta when we go to Biscotti's. The pizza rustica gets the nod from the magazine article.

The Fox is recommended for breakfast with its corned beef hash the star dish.

End your Avondale day with dinner at Orsay. Sip a pear-jalapeno margarita and munch on pommes frites.

The Avondale area is home to some of Jacksonville's most beautiful and historic homes and the shopping street is very trendy and charming. If you're new to Jacksonville, put Avondale on your list for a fun day of shopping, dining and if you like historic homes, you're in!

Avondale is a part of Jacksonville Florida. For those familiar with Jacksonville (Jax) you may recall that Jax is the largest city by land mass. Crazy stuff! So, how to not get lost on the I295 and the 9A? No problem----sort of! I recommend finding a place that you will enjoy!

And today that was The Brick in Avondale!

The Brick is a restaurant on St. Johns Blvd. Just in case you do not know how to get to this main street, one could take the I295 to Hwy 17 (north or south--look toward Jacksonville and follow the tall buildings!), then turn east onto St. Johns. Follow it around---really! Then find a place to park----!

Okay, back to The Brick. Today it was me, Ben, and Nick. We had to pick up our Jaguar tickets, find out when Christmas in Avondale is, and eat. I chose The Brick because, well--okay. The food is good, the bathrooms are clean, and there was not a wait! At 10:30am the boys and I got a table right away. Our waiter took our order promptly, and then returned with our food.

Our food: Amazing and fresh Huevos Rancheros (my personal favorite). Nick ordered, ready for this, an order of bacon, yogurt and fresh fruit, AND a blueberry muffin. The muffin fed both boys. The yogurt, in Nicks words, was yummier than cake! And the fruit was plentiful, fresh, and varietal for the season. Unbelievably plentiful. As in huge plate of fruit with all kinds of variety!

Overall, a time well spent together! And, by the way, for those who like a) specialty shoes; b) have super wide feet like me; c) enjoy styles you will not find everywhere---seek out Thompsons Fine Shoes. Really--it's worth the time!

Have a great weekend--and we'll see you at the Jags game tomorrow (for Ben's birthday).
